The formulation helps effectively fight against excess free radicals, supports mitochondrial function and promotes healthy functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous system. What is more, it aids in removing harmful heavy metals from the body and maintains carbohydrate balance.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a fat- and water-soluble, natural compound with far-reaching effects on the human body. ALA has strong antioxidant effects and helps also regenerate other antioxidants. What is more, it neutralises heavy metals and influences beneficially carbohydrate metabolism.

For a long time, it has been believed that ALA is a vitamin and the body cannot synthesise it. However, it turned out over time that both plants and animals are able to synthesise this compound. ALA is also found in food (e.g. offal and green vegetables), but these amounts are not sufficient to reach its therapeutic levels in the blood.

Effective defence against free radicals Numerous studies show that alpha lipoic acid is capable of reacting with free radicals and neutralising them. In addition, this compound helps regenerate other substances with antioxidant properties – vitamin C and E and glutathione.

ALA shows also the ability to chelate ions of metals whose reduced forms may take part in a redox reaction and may thus contribute to the formation of the highly reactive hydroxyl radical.

These properties are especially important in the case of diseases which are caused primarily by oxidative stress, including retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and neurological disorders.

Increased energy production ALA is involved in fat and carbohydrate metabolism and the synthesis of ATP, an energy-rich molecule. ALA contributes to increasing glucose uptake in muscle cells. This promotes ATP production while speeding up energy replenishment. Owing to this mechanism, it is possible to do longer or more intense physical activity.

Remedy for toxic effects of heavy metals ALA may counteract effects of poisoning with heavy metals that are dangerous to health, including cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic poisoning. The mechanism of mitigating toxic effects of heavy metals has not been fully recognised yet. However, it is known that it varies depending on the metal. Most likely, ALA slows down gastrointestinal absorption of toxins and helps remove them from the body and excrete in bile.

Hypoglycaemic effects ALA has been demonstrated to be beneficial for type 2 diabetes. This compound has been found to increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin and improve the transport of glucose to cells. Because of that, ALA helps improve the utilisation of glucose by the body and lowers its levels in the blood. What is more, its antioxidant properties help reduce the risk of diabetic neuropathy.

To sum up, TREC ALA 250 is a dietary supplement with great antioxidant potential whose numerous mechanisms of action influence beneficially your health and may help improve your quality of life. The formulation allows you to enrich your diet with top-quality alpha-lipoic acid, boosts energy production and helps protect the body against adverse effects of oxidative processes.

It is recommended especially for poisoning and impaired detoxifying function of the liver. It may extremely beneficial also to diabetics – ALA helps treat diabetes and prevent its complications.

Directions for use

Dosage

The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule 2 times a day, preferably during a meal. Wash down the preparation with around 300 ml of water.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF MUSCLE-ZONE EXPERTJakub kola

In order to increase its effectiveness, you may combine the preparation with e.g. L-carnitine. However, do not use the preparation while eating a raw egg, as it contains avidin, which may contribute to lowering alpha lipoic acid (ALA) absorption. What is important, even though ALA is a compound soluble in fats, it does not have to be used during a meal with its high content, as it is very well absorbed in the intestines and may be also used on an empty stomach.

ALA (Alpha-Lipoic Acid)

Information

ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) is a vitamin-like substance, a metabolite of catecholamines with strong antioxidant properties, it enhances anti-free-radicals action of some vitamins (A and E). ALA is synthesized at low levels by the body. It is a component of such products as broccoli, yeast, chicken liver, spinach. In the medicine it is used in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy (tissues shows a sensitivity to the insulin hormone, and it stimulates blood sugar levels). It has a positive effect on the functioning of the circulatory system and heart by the anti-arteriosclerosis action. It improves transport of creatine. It affects the storage of glycogen in muscle and liver.
Antioxidant properties of ALA are used in sports supplementation, along with the assimilation of nutrients. ALA is found in the form of mono-formula and is a compound of multicomponent products as: amino acids, creatine nitrogen boosters, as well as insulin-like (insulin-mimetic substances).
